Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifica- tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

• Operations such as sanding, wire brushing or polishing are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.

• Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by BLAUPUNKT. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

• The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

• The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.

• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

• Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing. Accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

• Always disconnect your angle grinder from the battery when replacing grinding or cut-off discs, adjusting the guard, cleaning the tool or when the tool is not in use. Kickback When using an angle grinder the operator should always be aware of and be prepared for Kickback. Kickback occurs when the rotating wheel becomes snagged or pinched in the workpiece. This causes the power tool to violently jolt in the opposite direction to the rotation of the disc at the point of pinching. Kickback may cause abrasive wheels may also break or chip, an inspection of the wheel is essential after kickback occuring. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle for maximum control over kickback.

• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

• Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.

• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.

• Never attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.Additional Safety Instructions For Grinding And Cutting-O Operations

• Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel.

• The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.

• Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel.

• Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.

• Do not apply excessive pressure to the disc. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.

• If the wheel is snagging or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel snagging.

• Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut.

• Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Additional Safety Instructions For Wire Brushing Operations

• Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

• If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire bristles with the guard. Be aware that the brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal force.1 2
